Weekly Boarding

A full boarding experience – and home in time for the weekend

Ashfold Summer 22271Ashfold’s weekly boarding gives children the very best of both worlds – the independence, structure and enrichment of Prep School life during the week, and the joy of being home for treasured family time every weekend.

Open to children in Years 4 to 8, weekly boarding runs from Monday morning to Friday evening (or Saturday morning if you prefer), for a termly fee of £10,355 – the same price as a typical day school in London or Oxford.

Nestled on the edge of the Chilterns, within 30 acres of beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside, Ashfold offers the perfect setting for busy, happy school days – where children thrive and seize every opportunity, including:

  • A broad, engaging academic programme

  • Daily sport and regular fixtures across rugby, hockey, netball, cricket, swimming and athletics

  • Woodland learning, outdoor adventures and time in nature

  • Music, LAMDA, drama and the creative arts woven into daily life

  • Clubs, challenges and enrichment activities that build resilience, teamwork and confidence

Our boarding house is a warm, vibrant and nurturing space – a true home from home. Evenings are filled with friendship, fun and relaxation, offering children the time to unwind, connect and grow in independence within a supportive, family-style environment.

Getting here is easy

We’ve made weekly boarding simple and accessible for busy families with our new dedicated transport routes:

  • Weekly return service from West London (Hammersmith)

  • Daily return routes from the M40 corridor: Oxford, Bicester, Aylesbury, Winslow and Thame

Carefully timed and thoughtfully planned, these routes ensure a smooth start and end to the school week – with children home in time to enjoy their weekends with you.

Why choose weekly boarding at Ashfold?

  • A structured, purposeful week filled with learning and opportunity

  • Time and space to grow in confidence, independence and self-belief

  • A strong sense of community and lasting friendships

  • Outstanding value – weekly boarding for the price of a London day school

  • The weekend protected for rest and family time 

 

We’d be delighted to welcome you for a personal tour and to share the spirit and warmth of Ashfold in person.
